Tutorial storify to wp
- 1. „Storify‟ to WP How to publish your „Storify‟ article to your WordPress blog if the export features or the Storify plugin get buggy. Screenshots, mostly. Copyright © 2103 by Kaley Perkins All rights reserved.
- 2. Word on bugs A few pages of notes of explanation and tips before the how-to screenshots: Coders write in various coding languages for multiple devices, multiple browsers, and multiple themes. Coding is not static. Thing are bound to have bugs; sometimes you have to troubleshoot. This is written for the Balskan WordPress theme used on Mozilla‟s Firefox browser using Storify‟s free version.

- 3. Storify and WordPress Storify is a user-friendly, web-based solution that allows easy news and feature aggregation of web content. WordPress is a robust blogging and website platform. It is well supported and has many third-party plugins to make blogging and online community management convenient. Copyright © 2103 by Kaley Perkins 3 May 13, 2013
- 4. How this came to be: Storify and WordPress have built-in and add-on features that allow streamlined merging on Storify‟s element board and WordPress publication. For me both were buggy. Storify provides a „distribution‟ option that should push your stories to WordPress. It was not dependable for me. The „Storify‟ plugin nests inside WP and allows the user to create aggregated stories with the Storify element panel. I saved my draft in WordPress and my article disappeared.

- 5. Some more thoughts After „losing‟ my article, I was delighted to find it safe in Storify. I completed my edits there. I needed to publish my article onto my WordPress blog. The distribution panel simply did nothing. I refreshed my browser. I tried a different browser. I restarted my computer. I got cranky and hit Google with a vengeance. This provides a work-around workflow to get your Storify stories published to your WordPress blog if neither Storify‟s built-in „distribution‟ option nor Storify‟s plugin work successfully.

- 6. ALWAYS REMEMBER: Save your work frequently. Perform all your edits before you use this workflow. It works, but it has friction. If you need to edit after you have published using this workflow, do so in Storify and then Publish again. Content will update on your website automatically.
